You guys (and gals) are so much better than me. I hate to see ANY player hurt, even a Kentucky player, but since they ARE hurt......hmmm.....oh well. Honestly, the only Big 12 team that I want to do well is KU. I know, I know, strength of schedule and perceived strength of conference.
Don't care.
@wissoxfan83 I'm a word-saver.
My summation:
1st half BAD. :-1:
2nd half GOOD.:+1:
@Texas-Hawk-10 I listened to that game on the radio (it was not televised because of sanctions, I think) and couldn't believe what I was hearing. I thought Max was going to have a heart attack. I thought I was going to pee myself.
Best game ever.....
@JayHawkFanToo Thanks for bursting my bubble. I was not aware of the actual wearing of the nasty sweater clause. And the answer is NO, I wouldn't wearing anything with Kentucky on it.
UNLESS - - - I could find a sweater with this on it:
What an incredibly beautiful state. I hope they take solace in all that natural wonder after getting the crap stomped out of them this Saturday.....
@drgnslayr lol !
@drgnslayr I noticed both of our models seem mad (hands on hips) and wouldn't let their faces be photographed
@drgnslayr I thought it was an abominable snowman turd.
Ugly Sweater Contest ?
I WIN !!!!
I agree with what all of you are saying, I think the same thing when I see the "historic" Gallagher-Iba arena with about 4,000 so called fans in it - even when they have been ranked highly over the years.
I realize the football is a different situation for US, but how long has it been since 20,000 fans have been in the stands at the start of the fourth quarter? Unless they were fans of the opposition.....
@wissoxfan83 Hmm. Maybe he should let them shoot 30 per game. At 47%, that's 42 points (42.3 for those of you who don't like rounding...) just from 3 pointers.
Sumpin to think about.
@jaybate-1.0 Football is too great of a game to just abolish it. I vote for getting rid of men's football and going strictly with the LFL. Or make it Co-ed. Touch football. Two hand touch, anywhere.
@Hawk8086 Someone come up with a court-storming app. Then they can enjoy the stupidity from their seats.
@jaybate-1.0 goo goo g'joob
I predicted that Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert would be married forever.
I predicted that not even Kansas (the state) was stupid enough to permit open carry. (guns. booze is probably next)
I predicted that my boss would recognize and reward my hard work.
I predicted that people would have sense enough to not text and drive.
Sooooo - No predictions for me. I will say my "expectations" for this team are HIGH. I want to lose 5 games (or less), win the Conference, win the Big 12 Tournament and make it to the Championship game of the NCAA Tourney.

My favorite Beavers. That I can talk about here.
@Crimsonorblue22 I want to say that you're either confused or buying into an old wive's tale of some sort. He was/is a good player and if his defense isn't up to par with his offense (like about a million other players) so what? I think he got shafted.
@Crimsonorblue22 As far as I remember, the only doubters in Lawrence were the coaches. I believe all the fans wanted him to see more pt.
@nwhawkfan I wasn't too popular in High School because I couldn't dance. At all. I had C.R.D
Caucasian Rhythmic Disorder..
@Bwag It's OK - they have time to improve...
@wrwlumpy Well, we're about due for some REVENGE!! Let's kick us some Crusader butt big time tonight!! :angry:
@DanR I'm 57 and know what you mean, but I still think you can play through pain a whole lot better at 20 than at 50+ !
@wrwlumpy You might want to read between the lines. I'm just looking for an opportunity to have fun. I love KU. I DO believe we should win every game by 40 points and I think the Hi-Low offense is great for 6-9 to 7-2 guys that can't run. We have (will have) a great team this year and I'm just keeping myself entertained until things click.
@wrwlumpy A couple of things about that game: Holy Cross had a winning record (unlike Harvard) and we won by double digits. Also, I think if you look real hard, you can see Bill Self sitting behind the KU bench whispering " run the Hi-Low, run the Hi-low....."
@dylans I'd give up any notion of ever winning a National Championship ( or even a 12th straight Conference Championship ) to see people quit texting and driving. Seriously.
@benshawks08 If we won every game by 40, we wouldn't have anything to talk about!
And we'd think Roy was back on the bench. (that should keep things going for a LITTLE while)
@JRyman Oh HELL no. :-1:
@jaybate-1.0 I don't know about that, but thanks? lol
@Crimsonorblue22 I guess in the truest sense, you're right. But watch the polls this season. Sometimes a win like our last one will drop a team 3 spots, and a .....3 or 4 point loss against a top 5 team could actually result in a team moving up in the polls.
I'm glad we won, but it was still kind of embarrassing to me, considering we blew a 16 point lead at home, which is widely considered one of the 2 or 3 hardest places for teams to play in all of college basketball.
And the Number One Likely Half Empty Thread if KU Wins The National Championship This Season:
If @approxinfinity had started this site several years ago, Self would have been able to read @jaybate-1.0 longer and translate his knowledge into more W's and National Championships. Can we sue the "other" site for holding us back?
I hate it mucho. Phil is a great kid and a great college basketball player. I can't really think of anyone in the country that works harder or hustles more than him.
Huge loss for Okie State.
Shoulda been a Jayhawk.
@KUSTEVE We won World War II also, but it wasn't pretty.
@Lulufulu Right now Perry has a whole lotta company. Like everybody not named Frank Mason.
@drgnslayr I notice you chose the "mild" version.....
@JayHawkFanToo Lol - the "coaches" - they're all old like me. Heck, I'm tired after going to the mall to buy shoes now.
@benshawks08 I hear the "tired" excuse a lot. I don't buy it. They weren't tired in Hawaii when they pounded Chaminade, UCLA and Vanderbilt in three consecutive days.
They're 18, 19 and 20 years old, you can't wear them out. When I was that age, I'd swim (and drink) all day at the pool then go down to Herman Park in Houston and play 3 on 3 until 2 or 3 in the morning. And drink some more.
Tired? Nah. Unmotivated and lazy today, more like it.
@Crimsonorblue22 I recognized the win in the very first sentence. We still got schooled. We got mostly outplayed by a bunch of freshmen on a team that's not very good to start with.
We were VERY lucky to get a W today. We got schooled in rebounds (offensive and defensive), we got schooled in free throws ( 80% vs 52% not a typo - 52%).
We blew another big lead, because that's what we do. * Sigh *
Ben Simmons is not even a real basketball player. He is a computer generated 3-D android kinda thing. The reason I know this ?
No Visible Tattoos.
@wrwlumpy Seriously?
Can Kentucky fans type?
@drgnslayr Trophies are ok as memories, just not as something to idolize.
1 Corinthians 9:24
Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it.
Ok - sermon's over for the day. Lol
@jaybate-1.0 Good point. When you're point guard is one of your top rebounders it's NOT a good thing. Kind of like when the Chiefs kick 7 field goals in a game. It's not good - It just means they can't score a touchdown.
@Texas-Hawk-10 If you organized it, it's not too late to wheel in a big screen TV.
What Can We Learn Tonight? - That Illinois State would have beaten Kentucky by 25 on a neutral court.
@JRyman High School or Horse Shi*
@globaljaybird Right. But what's worse - Arizona/Syracuse or , oh let's say Bucknell and UNI ? Or about 5 other teams that I could mention! Lol
